A few days later, Jiang Jiuyue took the visiting card from the county magistrate and went to visit several wealthy businessmen in the county.
With the help of the county magistrate, the wealthy businessmen were willing to give Jiang Jiuyue a face and placed orders with her, entrusting her to deliver some not-too-important goods.
After all, he was a newcomer who had just started the canal transportation business. These wealthy businessmen did not dare to let Jiang Jiuyue transport anything important. If something was lost, they would suffer heavy losses.
But Jiang Jiuyue also cares about it. Once she becomes well-known, she won't have to worry about high-priced orders coming to her.
In order to get more orders, Jiang Jiuyue asked someone to add a mast to the ship and hang a flag on it with the words "SF Canal Transport" written on it.
Jiang Huaping didn't know the meaning of the name, he only knew it meant smooth sailing, and he kept praising the name, saying it meant both smooth sailing and a good harvest, indicating that they could make a lot of money.
In fact, Jiang Jiuyue was just too lazy to think of a name. She originally wanted to use Shunfeng, but since the name of the canal was not Shunfeng, she simply used SF Express.
Now that everything is ready, Jiang Jiuyue is ready to start his first canal transport trip.
The crew on the boat was simple. Jiang Huaping was the boatman, responsible for sailing, Yu Shuilian was responsible for miscellaneous tasks on the boat, and Jiang Jiuyue was in charge of the overall situation on the boat. If they were robbed by discerning water bandits, they would deal with them together.
It was his first trip, so Jiang Huaping was still very nervous. After all, there was a lot of cargo on the ship, and they were a newly opened canal operation, so it was obvious that they had a lot of people and were very likely to be robbed.
Jiang Jiuyue was calm and composed, not worried at all.
In her eyes, pirates were nothing. Whoever dared to rob her would be killed without return. She could even go to their lair and take away everything they had robbed over the years, just like searching a casino.
The incident at the casino also gave her some inspiration. Taking away such well-gotten gains could be considered robbing the rich to help the poor. It was a matter of the underworld, so how could it be considered stealing?
The ship flying the flag of Shunfeng Canal was sailing towards the area where Jiang Huaping said that bandits were rampant. Jiang Huaping saw the flag of the bandits appear on the water from a distance.
Anyone traveling along this canal would recognize the flags of the pirate camps, big and small. Fishing boats would usually give way when seeing such flags, and cargo ships that knew they were pirates would also choose to take a detour.
The pirate flag that appeared this time was a bandit camp that was considered to be too large, and it was also a small threat to their small cargo ship with only three people on board.
Jiang Huaping was a little panicked, and hurried into the cabin to tell Jiang Jiuyue about the discovery of the pirates' flag.
"Boss, what should we do now? That bandit camp is quite small. I estimate that there are at least 20 to 30 people on one boat!"
Jiang Jiuyue walked out of the cabin and stood on the deck looking into the distance. Her excellent vision allowed her to quickly see the situation on the pirate ship in the distance.
That ship was much bigger than theirs, with more than a dozen people standing on the deck alone, and there were probably even more people in the cabin.
Jiang Jiuyue had no intention of backing down. If he avoided the pirates the first time he saw them, how would he continue his canal transport business?
"Speed up and go find them."
Jiang Huaping showed a bitter expression. Although he had heard Yu Shuilian say that Jiang Jiuyue had defeated Wang Daxiao and other gangsters at the dock, the people on the other side were pirates after all, and they were several times more ferocious than Wang Daxiao and his men.
Moreover, there are so many people on the other side. If they fail, not only will the goods be lost, but all three of them will have to pay for it!
"Boss, there are too many of them. If we fail, we may…"
Jiang Huaping wanted to persuade him, but Jiang Jiuyue shook his head at him, "Just listen to me. If I can't even deal with the pirates, then what's the point of me doing the canal business?"
Jiang Jiuyue was firm in his attitude, and Jiang Huaping had no choice but to bite the bullet and drive towards the pirates' boat.
The pirates also noticed this fishing boat but they did not avoid it and were heading straight towards them.
"Second in command, that's a fishing boat, a cargo ship, with a flag on it, saying Shunfeng Canal Transport, I've never heard of it, I guess it's a new business, it doesn't know much about the situation on our canal, it's coming straight towards us."
On the pirate boat, a small henchman with good eyesight quickly reported the news of the pirate boat's arrival to the leader on the boat, the second in command of their bandit camp.
The second in command laughed grimly, "Since it's a sheep delivered to our door, let's kill it quickly. It'll be a good start for today."
The minions immediately made preparations, and the sailors also headed towards the Shun Feng ship that was heading towards them.
The two ships soon met each other. Jiang Jiuyue stood on the deck and calmly looked at the ship full of pirates.
"You are on the road to heaven, but you are here to enter hell. If you know what's good for you, hand over the valuables on the boat. I can still let you live. Otherwise..."
The second in command stood at the front and shouted at Jiang Jiuyue in an arrogant tone.
As soon as he finished shouting, a henchman next to him immediately reminded him, "Second boss, this woman is really pretty, the first boss likes her. If we tie this woman up, we can also benefit from the first boss's happiness."
Upon hearing this, the Second In Command immediately glanced up and down at Jiang Jiuyue, and saw that although she was very beautiful, she had a kind of arrogance and seemed very difficult to conquer. She was the kind of stubborn beauty that the First In Command liked.
Thinking of this, he immediately changed the subject, "The woman on the opposite deck must also stay and become a concubine for our boss!"
Jiang Huaping was anxious when he heard this, "You are dreaming!"
The second in command heard this and laughed without any concern, "How dare you two say such big words? Even if I let all the brothers taste this woman right in front of you, what can you do to me?"
He was laughing wildly, Jiang Jiuyue acted quickly, swung out a long whip from his waist, wrapped it around the second in command's neck, and pulled him back.
The second in command was caught off guard, and the whip wrapped around his neck, and he fell heavily in front of Jiang Jiuyue.
Jiang Jiuyue stepped on his chest and said, "Are you so arrogant? Do you want to snatch me away to be your boss's concubine?"
The second in command felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his neck was strangled so that he could not breathe, and his whole face turned red.
The bandits on the opposite side were all stunned by the situation before their eyes. The second in command was actually pulled over by a woman with just a whip!
Jiang Jiuyue kicked the second in command into the river, and only the whip pulled him up and down by the neck, choking him and almost drowning him.
"Listen up, people on the other boat. If you have anything valuable on that boat, throw it over here now. Otherwise, I'll skin it and hang it on my flagpole as a new flag."
